Chapter 11 Managing the Management LEC

To view the name of the ELAN that the management LEC will try to join, enter the lane lec elan command:

Command:

M15-155s8:/>lane lec elan

Output:

The management LEC will join the default ELAN

Managing a Locally Administered Address for the management LEC

If you have an ELAN that uses its own block of MAC addresses, you may want the management LEC’s MAC address to conform to this scheme by assigning a Locally Administered Address (LAA). When no LAA is defined, the management LEC will use the M770 ATM Switch’s Burst-In Address (BIA).

You can:

View the currently assigned LAA for the management LEC.

Set the LAA to cause the management LEC to use the BIA as its MAC address.

Assign a specific LAA to the management LEC.

To view the current management LEC address, use the lane lec laa command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>lane lec laa

Output:

The Management LEC will use the BIA

To change address of the LAA, use the lane lec laa command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>lane lec laa [ none <laa> ]

Examples:

M15-155s8:/>lane lec laa none

Example:

M15-155s8:/>lane lec laa 51.00.00.62.6A.3E

Parameters:

none

The management LEC will use the BIA.

 

<laa>

A MAC address in the format appropriate to the management LEC's

 

 

ELAN type.

 

 

A MAC address consists of 6 hexadecimal bytes. For an Ethernet

 

 

ELAN, the first byte is x2, x6, xA, or xE.

Note: The change caused by the above command will not take effect until the M770 ATM Switch management LEC is restarted. To restart the M770 ATM Switch management LEC, use the lane lec restart command.
